If history shows one thing- that is that a ton of political problems are just technological problems solvable with surplus bribery - and the fact that we have a ton of political problems indicates we have a misallocation of technological problem solving ability, away from what are the foundations of society, towards "luxury" perverted incentivized problems created by a wealth bubble.
A million thinkers working and thinking about block chains instead of energy or fertilizers or carbon capture. This bubble and its misallocation shadow has to die, for the system to reboot.
